                       ***MARINADE***
                       ;stock [above] plus
  4      teaspoons     Pepper
  1      teaspoon      Cayenne pepper [opt'l]
  4      teaspoons     Liquid smoke
    1/2  cup           Soy sauce

*You might want to add come basil leaves or cilantro sprigs here.

Trim all fat off the meat and cut against the grain into 1/4" thick strips.
[Meat is easier to cut when partially frozen and it will cut evenly].

In a saucepan, combine beef stock, lime juice, fish sauce, sugar; bring to a
boil over high heat.  Add mint, shallots, scallions and chiles.  Cool and
strain.

Mix the stock and the other ingredients together in a bowl.  Add the meat and
cover.  Marinade overnight.  Or put meat and marinade in a sealable plastic
bag.  Either way turn the meat occasionally to ensure that all portions get
well soaked in the marinade.

Remove from marinade and let dry on a rack.  Line a cookie sheet with foil and
arrange meat on it in a single layer.  Or place meat directly on oven racks,
line bottom of oven with foil.  Or on rack in shallow pan Dry for 6 or more
hours at 175, turning after 3 hours.  Continue to dry in warm oven if
necessary.  Gas ovens with pilot lights work especially well.  Cool and bag
it.

[This Thai spice flavored version of Jerky put together, but not tested, by
Jim Weller.] ...  Hell hath no pizza...probably no Thai food either.
